More quotes by Peter Drucker
[Entrepreneurship] is by no means hunch or gamble. But it also is not precisely science. Rather, it is judgment.
Peter Drucker
You cannot prevent a major catastrophe, but you can build an organization that is battle-ready, where people trust one another. In military training, the first rule is to instill soldiers with trust in their officers - because without trust, they won't fight.
Peter Drucker
We do not need more laws . No country suffers from a shortage of laws. We need a new model .
Peter Drucker
Systematic change requires a willingness to look on change as an opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Communism is evil. Its driving forces are the deadly sins of envy and hatred.
Peter Drucker
Executives do many things in addition to making decisions. But only executives make decisions. The first managerial skill is, therefore, the making of effective decisions.
Peter Drucker
There's nothing so useless than executing a task efficiently when it actually never should have been executed at all.
Peter Drucker
Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker
There is an unbroken chain of opposition to the introduction of economic freedom and to the capitalist autonomy of the economic sphere...

Peter Drucker
Doing the right thing is more important than doing the thing right.
Peter Drucker
Managers are the basic and scarcest resource of any business enterprise.
Peter Drucker
The enterprise can fulfill its human and social functions only if it prospers as a business.
Peter Drucker
Look upon every obstacle as part payment towards your success.
Peter Drucker
The company is not and must never claim to be home, family, religion, life or fate for the individual. It must never interfere in his private life or his citizenship. He is tied to the company through a voluntary and cancellable employment contract, not through some mystical or indissoluble bond.
Peter Drucker
It is willingness of people to give of themselves over and above the demands of the job that distinguishes the great from the merely adequate.
Peter Drucker
Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it.
Peter Drucker
A primary task of management in the developed countries in the decades ahead will be to make knowledge productive.
Peter Drucker
Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
Peter Drucker
The society of organizations is new-only seventy years ago employees were a small minority in every society.
Peter Drucker
There are no creeds in mathematics.
Peter Drucker
